lyrics

Let's go
If I needed to be noticed, so bad I threw away
Everything that was in focus, only just yesterday
What would you want to tell me, maybe say it to my face
Don't sulk around the corner, disappear without a trace

A lesson learned so long ago, a dead man I would be
If I couldn't laugh at myself, without impunity
Now you try to get away from, responsibility
And no I'm not surprised at, your insecurity

Run - You can run
For - You can run
Your - You can run
Life - Just as far as you want
Run - You can run
For - You can run
Your - But you
Life - Cannot escape

So
Listen now I'll say it out loud, before I walk away
Got nothing in my hand, that's what you mean to me
Now I know what I am doing, so show yourself the door
From outside you will see, I am superior
To you

Run - You can run
For - You can run
Your - You can run
Life - Just as far as you want
Run - You can run
For - You can run
Your - But you
Life - Cannot escape

You can run just as far as you want, but you can't run from the truth
You can run for the rest of your life, but you cant escape the truth
You can run just as far as you want, you can run just as far as you want
You can run just as far as you want, but you cannot escape

Let's go
Run - You can run
For - You can run
Your - You can run
Life - Just as far as you want
Run - You can run
For - You can run
Your - But you
Life - Cannot escape

You can run, you can run, you can run
Just as far as you want
You can run, you can run, you can run
Not far enough
